Market Update - 4/15

It is tax day...pfft

But with that said, market once again is hovering near flatline. There was a huge pop this morning but it slowly went down the drain and as of 10AM Pst dow up 2, nasdaq down .80, s&p down .26

I am going to utilize the market weakness right now to unload the rest of my short position on RIMM, which is now down 1.24 @ $114.23 as of 10:09AM

Unloading the rest of my Mastercard shorts right now too. It is down $5 @ 222.09. I'll take what I can for now

Garmin taking another beating today down 1 @ $43.16. I'm going to stick with my plan and triple my position if this hits $41. I think it may have a little bit to do with the CROX killing...but they are in completely different sector so hard to say. But the way I see it, I liked it at 45, I'll definitely like it more at 41. But I'll hate it altogether when it goes below $40. lol

I have sold 25% of my MOS position this morning @ $129. Doesn't pay to be greedy in this market. Not especially with the amazing run it has had. Buy price was at $105 = $24 profit. I'm content

Let's see how the rest of the day play out.

Disclosure:
Long AAPL, MOS, GOOG, GRMN
25% Short position on X

Very nice to hear. No unfortunately I didn't get in on STLD. And given its mega pop today I am kicking myself for sure. But hey, I'll always be on the lookout for new opportunities.

Thanks for giving me the headsup on it though. I'll definitely be watching that one from now on. And please do continue to contribute new ideas. Thanks for reading and good luck!
